After the last Linux upgrade to 36.0.2 the password or user name hot links only work once. The first time the link is gray and will activate. The second time I try and use this feature the link is not gray and will not activate.

Every time this happens I have to close Firefox and reopen it. Then I get one more shot at auto loading a password before it stops working.

With the password settings for my domain, it seems to count the saved passwords as if they are for the same account, even though they are different. It also doesn’t show an image or label to indicate which account each password belongs to.

I'm putting together a webpage where employees can change/reset their LDAP passwords. Firefox asks if the user wants to generate a random one.

being an LDAP password, having their Firefox browser generate and manage it would not be practical as not all services using the LDAP password don't all run in Firefox.

Do to the fact that the password situation is totality out of control, I would like to know if there is a better way of posting the password list. I mean that I have about 300 passwords and every time I open a web site and I need to go into the password list, "in case it doesn't show up automatically" , I can't understand some of the postings because it doesn't say the site, it says the url and it doesn't have the title of the site it just has the url. Then at the same time it has several url's with different passwords because I have several sites under the same url. Example, Google, I have several sites under Google and the password list just has the url's and not the title of the site. So it get very confusing. Is there a way to have to title of the site first and then the url? Then when I want to know which Google account that I want, I can go right to it. Now I am 76yrs. old and know only the basics of computers and would like to use Firefox on the phone, but I am afraid to because I don't know computers that good, but mainly I have trouble with passwords. Just finding the place where I can ask a question has taken me about 30 minutes and I had to sign in 5 different times. I am trying to keep a group of older people such as myself up with their computer and phone. One of the problems is that everything that is written on computers and phones are written for the young. They were born into computers, we weren't. If there is a way to post the passwords by what the site is and then the url, it sure would make things easier. Thank you for your time.

I synchronized my passwords to a new Android tablet to easily configure some apps. Now I want to stop synchrisation and delete all the passwords. But I find no way to do this.

I use an independent password manager to store my passwords and prefer it over Firefox's because it has a highly customizable generator for creating new passwords. However whenever I am on a new site, Firefox pops up with a prompt to generate a secure new password (it appears as a drop-down from the item text box). My password manager also creates a pop up/drop down, but it is hidden behind Firefox's and I cannot access it. I need to be able to disable the secure password generator prompt. Please take a look at my excellently annotated screenshot, attached.

I exported the passwords from Firefox to a .CSV file. I brought the CSV file into Excel. The 3 rightmost columns are labelled timeCreated timeLastUsed timePasswordChanged. The contents appear to be 13 digit integers like 1459431833997 (in Firefox this shown as 'Mar 31, 2016').

Is there a way to have those a human-readable date fields?

I have a new e-mail address, so I'm updating all the entries in my about:logins list of passwords. There are a couple of moz-extension entries with very long codes as part of the name. When I click on these in the left-hand column, it appears in the main part of the window where I can edit or remove it. For regular website entries I can click on the link to take me to the site, but with the moz-extension entries I can't do that. Can these be deleted? Thanks!

How can manually add a web address and password to the saved passwords list? When I visit one particular website I need to enter the password and the SAVE PASSWORD popup doesn't come up.

I am able to save passwords during a Firefox session but when I close Firefox and then open it again the passwords are all gone.

I have checked settings for Privacy and Security and have tried various combinations including Remember History and a variety of combinations under Use Custom Settings for History.

I am running Firefox 137.0 (64-bit) under Windows.

Any assistance gratefully received. This is an annoying and time-consuming problem.

Thanks!

In web forms that ask for my email address Firefox displays a message 'Manage passwords' instead of displaying me email address. I cannot find a way to disable this irritating feature which means I have to write in my email address every time which in turn increases the likelihood of mistyping my address. I have searched all over the place trying to find an answer but without luck. Can someone tel me how to disable this? Thanks.

In the password manager I want to change the URL of the website from https://test.xxx/ to https://test.xxx/login/part1 . I first delete the old entry and then create a new entry with the new URL. The old address is then displayed in the password manager each time. How can I successfully change the address?
